What does rah mean??
context: basically i said “thank god for that” then “never mind”(in a text message), since the guy im talking to is an atheist. later on another guy (not the atheist) said “rah”. im assuming this is something people say nowadays? if you know what that means please do tell me, and thank you.
"Sorry" or "I'm sorry" to ask people to repeat themselves? Are both acceptable?

The word "assesses" is an abomination. Example: An assesor is a person who assesses.
Edit: I'm natively fluent and don't need help. Just thought i'd showcase the word because it's just a bunch of S's and E's except for the A
What's the correct meaning here?
Someone said " Having children is worthwhile if you have reasons beyond a retirement plan " this Sentence implies "in addition to retirement plan" or "instead of retirement plan"??
is it valid to say "mind _to do something_"?
This sentence came out of my mouth once and I haven't really thought about it. Does this sound natural in an informal, a bit hostile, conversation: "mind climbing from the bottom?", meaning: "do you want to rise from the bottom?". I couldn't find any close examples, only remember similar: "mind your own business". So I'm asking for opinions here, does it sound lame or not insulting because I said it wrong?
I wish + would arrive or arrived?
So, my gut feeling says it should say: I wish it ARRIVED on time, but am I wrong? Is it really WOULD ARRIVE? Another example: I wish the government WOULD LOWER taxes, or... LOWERED taxes. Thanks in advance for your help

I'm trying to use a word to refer to the country someone was raised in (not born), what could it be? "speaking of kali I'm going to her ***motherland"*** ***(how can I replace that?)***
